well we had a major problem happen yesterday... for some reason i took off my air hat and cleaned up the IAC and put it back on... when i did my throttle got really stiff and when i mashed the gas it broke in wide open throttle. my truck hit 70 in a 40 in no time. so after almost blowin the engine, neutral then shuttin it off was the only way to slow down, its sittin in the yard waitin to be towed. guess ill have to leave this one up to the mechanics. damnit. [:@]ill report back soon

 

EGR is still not fixed... tryin to get a used one dont wanna pay $115 from the stealership

 

http://www.rockauto.com Best prices around even with shipping.

 

alright update: got the egr fixed, cleaned the IAC and the throttle body, it STILL is doin it.

which is scarin me... makes me think its tranny related now. any other ideas fellas?

 

If you have access to a scanner, check for misfire codes. Then slect the misfire counter and go drive it (or prefereable have someone else drive) while watching to see which hole is rackin' em up. If you don't have a scanner:

Doignition system check (cap/rotor/plugs/cables). A misfire is greatly amplified when the TC is in lock-up going down the highway.

Check fuel pressure. I know you have a new pump, but that doesn't mean the regualtor isn't allowing too much. And check for leak down. A leaky fuel injector can cause a misfire just as easily as ignition problems, as it'll be drowning that cylinder. This would also present more at light throttle than under heavy acceleration.

Check compression. A weak hole may not present as a misfire at idle, and could be masked at WOT or under hard acceleration, but be noticeable cruising or under light load.

Make sure all injectors are firing. There is a pulse sensing tool that lights up and beeps, but it can also be done with a stethoscope.

Check for vacuum leaks; use a can of carb cleaner and spray lightly all around the intake manifold while listening carefully for RPM drop. Mopars are not known for intake plenum gaskets developing vacuum leaks, but it can happen to any vehicle. There are some capped vacuum ports on the intake. Make sure they're still capped.

Once you have eliminated mechanical, spark and fuel as possible causes, then we start looking at sensors, connectors, wiring and control modules.

 

appreciate that... i gotta run to south georgia this weekend im gonna see if its still real bad... if so its goin back in the shop. my patience has run dry on this truck. i just want one week of nothin goin bad.

now the fuel gauge is readin empty when its got 15 gallons in it... [:@]god damnit.
